So, last night Samantha "Francis" Moon was notable by her absence. There is now a new "secretary".

I have questions. Where did Samantha go? Will the new girl get to keep her real name? Will she even be given a name?

I think we should be told.

First impressions? I don't like her as much. Samantha used to have the hilarious habit of speaking in a mildly harsh tone to the contestants and in a mildly seductive tone to Mr/Sir/Lord Sugar (delete as appropriate).

I thought the secretary was just an actress who was given the name of Lord Shugga's real life secretary so he didn't get confused.

That was my understanding too.

She was, Samantha Moon, pretending to be Frances. The question is, though, why has she left after 6 series? Why did they hire a replacement who just sounds bored? And will this replacement also be called Frances? Is it a title that gets handed down like James Bond's M?

On rewatching series 1, I was amused to see that Frances got no name checks at all until episode 3. The production staff must at that point have given her a name as she was name checked at every possible time that episode including a dutiful group "thankyou Frances" from the candidates going into the BR

I miss her rather breathy sultry tones
